KINGDOM OF HAWAIʻI

Dolphins: CETACEAN COMMUNITY vs. BUSH

Military mid-frequency, aquaculture and vessels are the three major sources of sound pollution in the waters around Hawaiʻi. These three sources add up to sixteen times as many sound pulses than the normal baseline pulses. Spinner dolphins are particularly vulnerable because they hunt at night and sleep during the day in the bays around the Islands. The Kingdom of Hawaiʻi didn’t win in this particular case, but we are always actively fighting to preserve the natural habitat that is our great heritage.
